Mickey Rourke will be at WrestleMania, according to WWE

This is all getting a little too confusing. First Rourke was going to appear at WrestleMania, then he was going to actually wrestle, then he wasn’t going to appear at all. But now, according to this statement by WWE owner Vince McMahon, the star of “The Wrestler” will at least still be appearing at WM25.

“I am pleased that Mickey Rourke will be in attendance at WrestleMania to support the WWE Superstars who support him and the film in which he stars, The Wrestler,” McMahon said in the statement.

That leaves the door open for any number of possibilities. Rourke could simply sit at ringside, be a guest referee, join the announce team, have an interview, or actually go as far as to wrestle.
